A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Describe what you see

I see traffic sign, a man sitting and a gratiffi on a wall.

Describe what you feel

I feel the young man is seating there with his head bent deep in thought.

Write a story about what you think is

Amidst all the walls in the town, Phlis art work stood outstanding. In a one way road stood Philis with his spray paint, a thought of what to create run through his mind.

Without much thinking, he opened the spray and the nozzle began to release colors onto the wall. Gradually, he began seeing meaning in the strokes that gave meaning to a graffiti piece.

Lovers of art stopped and stared in awe as the piece gave meaning without any explanation.
Nee is a man in his mid 50s with head bent furrowed with confusion, his mind running through looks of things.

Near him was a road sign. Interested in the colors tried to see if he can read any meaning from those splashes of creativity. Looking at the road sign again showed him a long road ahead of him.

As the road got busy, the man's interest to find answers to his thoughts deepens. He yearns for understanding and the only answer he got after all hope to unveil the meaning failed.

"Life is a mystery," he said as he stood up and walked towards the direction of the road sign.

An interesting take on the prompt! Like Nee, I agree that life is a mystery. He doesn't see any meaning to the graffiti on the wall but Phlis does. Maybe the sign leads to C.BRA's place or something? Hehe. Nicely done!

Your story shows how different individuals interpret art and other items around them, in a subjective manner. One group of people appreciated the graffiti that Philis attempted. However, Nee only found confusion as he surveyed the landscape.

Thanks for sharing your story. Take care.

Exactly. You understood the message of the short piece. Thanks so much for your comment on my post. It means so much to me @justclickindiva.

You're welcome, dear. It was my pleasure. Keep up the lovely writing.

Life is indeed a mystery. Nice story

At least life gives him plenty to think about.
